You have an Azure subscription.
Your on-premises network contains a file server named Server1. Server1 stores 5 TB of company files that are accessed rarely.
You plan to copy the files to Azure Storage.
You need to implement a storage solution for the files that meets the following requirements:
✑ The files must be available within 24 hours of being requested.
✑ Storage costs must be minimized.
Which two possible storage solutions achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
AE
A: Azure storage offers different access tiers, which allow you to store blob object data in the most cost-effective manner.
The Cool access tier is optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
E: Using a file share is cheaper than using a blob container.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: The Archive tier is optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements (on the order of hours).
C: Using a Blob container would be cheaper than using a file share.

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

You have an Azure Storage account that contains two 1-GB data files named File1 and File2. The data files are set to use the archive access tier.
You need to ensure that File1 is accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated.
Solution: For File1, you set Access tier to Cool.
Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:
B
Instead use the hot access tier.
The hot access tier has higher storage costs than cool and archive tiers, but the lowest access costs. Example usage scenarios for the hot access tier include:
✑ Data that's in active use or expected to be accessed (read from and written to) frequently.
✑ Data that's staged for processing and eventual migration to the cool access tier.

You have an Azure Storage account that contains two 1-GB data files named File1 and File2. The data files are set to use the archive access tier.
You need to ensure that File1 is accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated.
Solution: You move File1 to a new storage account. For File1, you set Access tier to Archive.

You have an application named App1. App1 generates log files that must be archived for five years. The log files must be readable by App1 but must not be modified.
Which storage solution should you recommend for archiving?
Correct Answer:
A
Immutable storage for Azure Blob storage enables users to store business-critical data objects in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state.
Immutable storage supports:
Time-based retention policy support: Users can set policies to store data for a specified interval. When a time-based retention policy is set, blobs can be created and read, but not modified or deleted. After the retention period has expired, blobs can be deleted but not overwritten.
